Some people are just trying way too hard.
 

Yeah, but there's just something about large corporations who try to co-opt anti-establishment techniques that really makes me sick. Any Akron radio listener who actually gives a damn about whether their local station is corporate probably knows Clear Channel is behind it, and won't listen anyway. Those who don't care are probably sheep. Their "pirate radio" marketing strategy isn't really necessary to win said sheep over, which leads to the conclusion that they're just doing this to piss someone off.
 

I see what you're saying. It is very similar to Indie 103.1 calling itself indie when it's owned by Entrevision (who has six of the maximum eight allowed frequencies in Los Angeles)and, up until recently, reliant on Clear Channel for ad revenue. I wish more corporate stations would abandon the exceptionally narrow demographics they use for programming (i.e. soccer moms or NASCAR dads), but don't try to be anti-corporate while doing it.
